- Azat Reservoir - Enjoy the tranquil and picturesque surroundings of the Azat Reservoir, perfect for capturing stunning photographs.
- Garni Temple - The Garni Temple, dating back to 77 A.D., is the only remaining pagan temple in the entire post-Soviet region. It stands elegantly on a high plateau overlooking the Azat River Gorge. The Greek-Roman bathhouse with its mosaic, composed of 30,000 natural stone pieces, along with the remnants of the royal palace, transports visitors to the 3rd century A.D.
- Symphony of Stones - The Symphony of Stones is a breathtaking natural marvel, featuring towering, column-like volcanic rock formations that create a stunning landscape.
- The Monastery of Geghard - The Geghard Monastery complex is another historical site included in this tour. St. Geghard represents the lance used by the Roman centurion to pierce Jesus after the crucifixion. This lance was later brought to Armenia and preserved in the Geghard Monastery for five centuries. The complex showcases 13th-century Armenia, considered the Golden Age of the country’s architecture. The most remarkable aspect of this complex is its architectural design, with churches carved into solid rock, constructed according to Armenian architectural principles.
